As of October 1st 2015 only one general minimum wage rate applies in Mexico. Previously there were two different general minimum wage rates, one which applied in those locations categorised as ‘geographical area A’ and one which applied in those locations falling under the category of ‘geographical area B’. These rates would then vary according to occupation. The general minimum wage is now 70.10 Mexican pesos (4.26 US dollars) per day in both areas A and B. The minimum wage rate still varies according to occupation but professional rates are no longer split into two rates depending on geographical location.
